Wounded Families: The Church’s Response to Abusive Behaviors

Wounded Families: The Church’s Response to Abusive Behaviors

Thurs Oct 19 | 7:00 PM | St. Mary Mother of God Parish, Men. Falls

“The Catholic Church teaches that violence against another person in any form fails to treat that person as someone worthy of love. Instead, it treats the person as an object to be used. When violence occurs within a sacramental marriage, the abused spouse may question, ‘How do these violent acts relate to my promise to take my spouse for better or for worse?’” This excerpt from the USCCB’s “When I Call for Help” document is just one of the essential topics to be discussed. The evening will focus on the Church’s teachings related to abuses in marriage, effects on family members and resources for healing. All are welcome, but the content is appropriate for ages 13 and older.
